I've had maybe 20 since my early 20s (I'm now 76) so I got used to the drill. Haven't had one for several years.
I do disagree with a couple of the above pards about narcotic painkillers for stones. They work great, where nothing else does. When the pain is gone, you stop using them. It's not complicated at all. The side effects of drowsiness and others mentioned are mild and worth the analgesia.....

The people responsible for this should be pilloried!!
Starting with the US consumer, to whom price means everything.
I represented an old American company that sold what I'll call widgets. Their production was US based and they strongly wanted to remain so.
Their widget hung next to the Chinese widget at the hardware store. Theirs was better, but the Chinese one was reasonbly good. Theirs was 22 dollars, the Chinese 18 dollars.
The America-first working man started buying the Chinese product instead of theirs. Eventually, they had to move their production to China. True story.

Not only a person of high conservative principles, he was a man of charm and ease of manner; a true gentleman.
He busted the USSR.
A great sense of humor. And a uniter, never a divider, notwithstanding bitter opposition from the Left (which continues to this day).
The proof of that:
He won the 1984 election by 525 electoral votes to 13. (Mondale won only his home state, Minnesota, and DC). The biggest landslide since 1820 and the largest margin of any Republican.
We won't be seeing that again.....

I saw the movie in the theater last Saturday. I regard President Reagan as a great man, and descibe myself as a Reagan Republican, in distinction, among other things, to the current standard bearer.
Dennis Quaid is great; a spitting image of Reagan in many ways.
As a film though, it's more of a documentary than an actual movie. It differs from the usual documentary in that it is acted throughout, rather than consisting of the historical film clips and narrative usual to documentaries. But as such, it lacks drama and dramatic impact. At 2 1/2 hours, it's too long. It does have some great moments.
It is worth seeing, though.

Very fake news.
Was it 'news'? Doubt it.
If the issue is 'crashworthiness' then I think it's pretty realistic.

How often was that scene copied of the townsmen and women scattering in panic, drawing their shades and shutters, as the good guy(s) and bad guy(s) confronted each other in the street before the saloon? For that matter, the shootout itself? Must have been copied thousands of times!
And what was the original?
There are no new stories. Everything is a copy to some degree.

Several years ago I took the deposition of a orthopedist at the University of Washington medical school who was a nationally-recognized specialist in the reconstruction of lower extremity traumatic injuries. The case involved huge injuries to the feet and legs in a high-impact accident.
He said that they never used to see such extensive injuries from auto accidents, because the forces required to produce them had invariably been fatal to the occupants before the introduction of air bags and other crashworthiness improvements.

The only active ingredient in the Costco Kirkland "Sleep Aid" is Doxylamine Succinate, so that's one possible source. I'm sure there are others.
I wouldn't 'over-research' things at this juncture. Use what works for now.

We don't have these in this state; at least I've never encountered one nor heard of one.

Doxylamine Succinate is the active ingredient in Costco's Kirkland Sleep Aid, and I find it works, better than dyphenhydramine, the active ingredient in many. So it sounds like you may be responding favorably to this ingredient.

. Not sure what is in the Nyquil but it does work on me most of the time. I just hate taking it for just sleep.
But that's the whole purpose right now. Get caught up on sleep, then reassess the situation.

I love my Uberti .44 Russian but it is a bit harder to handle and shoot than a Colt.

Just my 'umble opinion, but I'd try the Lunesta. Every medication has possible negative effects that are quite rare but of course are in the literature, and your research will turn them up.
The idea it seems to me is to break the current cycle of insomnia. Then re-evaluate when that is done. Just my own thinking.

Well, he wasn't a particularly good President, but then most of us never even made President in the first place. That takes some ability.
